Description

Entertaining, informative, and fun. Educational, trivial, and profound. Astonishing, amazing, and surprising. That's history! Take a weird and wonderful tour of American history with this treat of stories, trivia, and facts!


From Juan Ponce de León to John Wayne to Jane Doe to the little-known stories hidden inside bigger historical events, The Big Book of American History Facts combines the educational, profound, and trivial into a rich account of American history facts (and the interesting role Johns--and Juans and Janes--played along the way)! You'll learn about the world through hundreds of absorbing stories and interesting tidbits such as ...

  • Our sixth president, John Quincy Adams (1767-1848), had a pet alligator while in the White House.
  • Graceland, located in Memphis, Tennessee, is America's second-most visited home. The first is Thomas Jefferson's Monticello.
  • In 1970, Continental Airlines made it a policy that every disembarking male passenger got a kiss on the cheek from a stewardess.
  • Twenty to twenty-five percent of cowboys in the mid-1800s were black.
  • The first public service announcement meant to encourage Americans not to litter appeared in 1956.
  • Washington is the most common city/town/village name in America, followed by Springfield and Franklin.
  • Actor Jack Black's mother was a satellite engineer and author who worked on the Hubble Telescope.
  • Most of the Continental Congress officially signed the Declaration of Independence on July 2, 1776 (not July 4!).
  • The Food Marketing Institute estimates that some two million shopping carts are stolen each year.
  • Kansas City, Missouri, leads the nation in the number of fountains inside its city limits.
  • The Statue of Liberty is 305 feet tall with a waist that's 35 feet across.
  • And many more American history facts!


    An absorbing guide to history, The Big Book of American History Facts is a treat of stories, facts, and trivia guaranteed to both inform and entertain. It's a feast of facts, fun oddities, and compelling stories that make history delightfully entertaining and eye-opening!
